Why not ?

≈Miami, FL...

(4:17 p.m)

"You took the kids for me ? " Cora asked her sister checking on her babies.

"Yeah, we're at mom's now. I'm going to make sure they do their homework." She answered as Cora nodded her head.

"Okay, thanks. And don't forget, Acacia is still in punishment, so after the homework no TV and others electronics things, she can read a book though. And no cookies or cakes either , tell that to mom. As soon as I'm done, I'll come to pick them up. I'll call before."

"Why did she fight for again ? " Sancy asked still not believing what her little sister told her about her daughter a month ago. She knew her niece was something else, but she never thought she was capable to do something like that.

"I already explained ! This girl was laughing at her because she doesn't have a father and then Acacia hit her a few times with a tray, before to jump on her and snatch the other girl's hair AND to make her nose bleed. Oh ! She punched her in the face too. That girl had to go to the hospital to make sure that she had any concussion." Cora told the entire story again. 

"Damn ! Are you sure their father is not Mr.Ali ? But, personally I think my baby girl was right to do this. That little bitch should've stayed quiet and thought twice before to get my baby angry."

Cora rolled her eyes. If she was Acacia and someone had told her something about her father, she would've sent her to the hospital too, but as her mother had always told her and her sister, violence is not always the solution, "Don't ! I know, violence blah blah blah, but when people keep searching for these punches, then give it to them and maybe they'll understand. That's what daddy was always telling us." Sancy said marking a good point.

"Yeah, I know." Cora said replaying their father's words in her head.

"So...she's free again ? " Sancy asked curiously.

"No ! What I look like saying no one time, then yes. I'm a woman of my words ! Plus, it's only for one more day, then she'll be free again. So, respect my authority and do like I said ! " 

"Okay, mummy ! See you later, girl ! And good luck with Mr. On Twenty Cloud ! "

Cora shook her head, "Thank you, bye." And with that said they hung up.

She was nervous. Her heart was beating too fast, her breath was slowing little by little, her hands and legs were shaking and she started feeling a headache coming. She was anxious and about to pass out. She just wanted to run away, but she couldn't do it. She had to face reality and reality was that she was pregnant with the baby of a total stranger. Yeah, she didn't have her periods and had to take a doctor appointment. It's been a week that she found out that she was carrying a child since two weeks already. She wanted so much this situation to just be a nightmare, but it wasn't. She pinched her arms several times, even asked her mother and sister to do it for her, but nothing changed. She had to accept the consequences of her act.
